Another three local critters

Oh that I should be so lucky as to see, much less photograph the critters that friend Bob espies over in Mountain Club. In this particular batch, a lone coyote (above) and grey squirrel plus a raven. I'm sure the raven was up to no good.

steve -- I think the raven would more likely go for the squirrel's food, if such food suited the raven. Otherwise, he's quite likely to just tease the squirrel. BTW, how are your squirrels doing? I miss them.

jarart -- yes, he does. I suspect there's food to be had in Mountain Club.

anil -- one never knows with raven. He/she might be up to getting food -- or possibly making mischief.

meggie -- all too often, coyotes are poor raggedy critters when the food is scarce. Like I said to Lucy, when they're reasonably well fed, they are quite handsome.
